Highly is a highlighter tool, ideal for those who are engaged in research and who find themselves reading hundreds of documents a day, many of which they need to share with peers, education practitioners and/or others..

The question is, when studying a long document, how do individuals bring their colleagues’ attention to the pertinent sections?

There's no doubt that giving page and paragraph locations for every sentence they need to read is both time-consuming and impractical.

Back in 2012, Caine Monroy of Caine's Arcade visited the Exploratorium at the Palace of Fine Arts. In July, 14-year-old Caine returned to our new home and built cardboard arcade games with us during our Infinite Versatility of Cardboard event. For the day, we invited visitors to build cardboard games alongside Caine. The arcade was adjacent to the Tinkering Studio, spilling out onto the museum floor in the center of the day's activity. We also hosted cardboard costume making and both small scale and large scale stop motion animation in the Tinkering Studio.

"While an increasing number of students are opting for online courses and online degree programs, the retention and completion rate for such courses is extremely low. We look at top 10 mistakes that learners commit while signing up for an online course ."

"The gap in understanding the right combination of course design elements, which contribute to an engaging online training, offered room for this research. Focusing on video-based instructions, we tested certain video-based course design principals to find out how they affect adult learners’ satisfaction with eLearning."

Perhaps the main reason for this disappointing impact is that the inclusion of technologies has done little to change the “tell and practice” approach to teaching and learning — the predominant pedagogical practice of our time. In this model, teachers tell students what knowledge is and what knowledge is worth knowing; students meanwhile invest their vast capacity for creativity, critical thinking, and collaboration by memorizing and practicing what they were told. The overarching goal of this model is simply for students to accurately repeat the information they were told.

Against this background, learners in the 21st Century will be expected to develop their ability to communicate, interact, clinch deals, and collaboratively work with individuals from other cultural groups across the globe.

This is a great way to make reading aloud less stressful and more productive for students. They will have the time to read and understand the text before recording it (there are comprehension questions with each of the prepared texts) and they will have the opportunity to listen to themselves and improve their recording.

"Never permit a dichotomy to rule your life..." - Pablo Picasso I've taken this completely out of context (Picasso was alluding to work/life balance and loving your day job), but I think it's applicable nonetheless. I love playing with dichotomy as a concept - particularly a visual one...in fact I've got a few exercises such…

"Apple’s new Live Photos feature on the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus is really cool, but if you don’t want to share them as full Live Photos or just want them as stills, you can easily convert them in just a few steps.

Live Photos are being touted as one of those must-have features and we have explained how to get fairly good results with them. That said, Live Photos have a few caveats. For one, they take up a great deal more space than traditional stills. You may also not want to share the whole thing. You might simply want to share it as a still photo and discard the rest."

A significant part of my job involves creating graphic designs. While I can make my way around Photoshop, InDesign and Premiere well enough when I have to, PowerPoint is my tool of choice for 99% of my design projects. I’m not telling you that PowerPoint can do everything those other tools can do but I am saying it can probably do WAY more than you think it can.

"Malcom Gladwell (2017) describes the tipping point as “that magic moment when an idea crosses a threshold, tips, and spreads like wildfire.” It is extremely challenging to predict when educational models are going to reach that so called tipping point. This is because educational systems are inherently complex with multiple factors that affect adoption."

In this interview Matt shares his thoughts on the changes transforming the sphere of education and gives away the secrets of removing the destructions as well as finding the balance between screen time and face-to-face interactions.

I consider really important to take into account technology as part of our teaching methodologies. Nowadays, technology can not be let behind, since it has advanced considerably we can not isolate it from education. As a matter of fact, technology is a powerfull tool that can contribute positively if we plan how to use it correctly in order to benefit our learners.

Considerably it has advanced, reason why lots of teachers are afraid to use it.It is sometimes a big responsability and also, it is something that demands training and a lot of practice.However, we have to be conscious of this necessity to implement teaching sessions through technology, in order to guarantee to learners an updated and renewed educational system; besides, it would impact positively in our current technological society and culture.

I think we should be cautious about the claims we make for the arts in education. We need to make sure that how we do the art is as important as the fact that we're doing it. After all, it's quite possible to do arts in education in ways which, say, undermine children. For instance, it's quite possible to be authoritarian and dictatorial while doing the arts – and more often than not this will teach children that they should just obey orders or that the arts are about being bossy or snooty.

For practitioners of all kinds, I've sketched out a checklist, as much for myself as others, to keep in mind how best to ensure that arts in education is worthwhile for all.

In this tutorial I will be using some of the vintage design elements from the latest design bundle to create an ad for an old school garage & repairs shop named Roberto’s. Not only are these type of designs a throwback, but they also look pretty darn cool! We will be combining a classic car ... read more
